So I'm looking to replace my wheel with an after market one so putting my current wheel up for sale. It's the original M sport wheel as specced from the factory but benefits from a lovely Royal steerings retrim with thicker padding.
It has beige stitching (my seats were beige one upon a time). I was going to dye the stitching but actually quite liked it so never did. So they buyer has a choice - keep the stiching as is or dye it black (or maybe even dark blue or red).
The steering has always been cleaned with gliptone and I have to say that the leather Royals use is superior to OEM in every way from look, feel and durability. I was pleasantly suprised today when taking pics that the wheel is like new with barely a trace of use.
This wheel has the classic perforated and smooth leather mix, looks and feels great.
The retrim on its own £125 upwards.
Breakers sell worn OEM wheels like this without a retrim for £120 up to £180. Some are selling them retrimmed but without and airbag for £250 upwards!
Price:
I'm looking for £150.00 + postage.

If you already have an MSport wheel but want a retrim this could be a 'free' upgrade if you sell yours on without the hassle of being 'wheeless' whilst waiting for yours to be trimmed.
Perfect upgrade for those with the older style wheels or even the 4 spoke sedan wheels BMW thought was ok for a Roadster!
Some pics, the light wasn't the best today but the detail shots came out well:
Here is a pic from when the car had a beige seats for anyone wondering how it will look.
Note that the leather looked almost grey when first used but a good going over with gliptone conditioner and some use let the leather settle into the proper OEM matching black shade it is now:
Please note that I still have to get the replacement wheel so it could be a week or two before I can atually take this off the car.
